Losing with Betsy



Week 2 Down 2 lbs total -10 pounds!!!!



I want to be half the woman I am


I want to at least weigh half of what I do anyway!!
Losing weight isn't so easy for me. But, I sure can gain it easily! I am what you call an emotional eater. Sad, eat, nervous, eat, happy, eat, bored, eat... well, you get the picture. I am sure that some of you can relate.
Since I am not one of the people lucky enough to have those great genes going for me, it is a struggle, especially since I love food.
I have to learn moderation and to listen to my body. It is so easy to over eat when you are not paying attention. You may be lost in a conversation or maybe watching television, or you just love the taste of what you are eating and want more of it.
Luckily for me, Nutrisystem came and saved my day!!! In two weeks, I have lost 10 pounds!!! I am not hungry and I am loving the chef inspired meals. I am very impressed to say the least of those frozen delights that are in a steam fresh bag! Not only do those wonderful steam fresh bags heat the food evenly, it sure doesn't taste like a frozen meal!
Since I am an emotional eater, I have to pay close attention to not give up on myself. It is too easy to give in and then give up!
I know that I can make it and be healthy again. I keep praying for the strength to lose the added poundage and be an inspiration to someone who is struggling also.
Since the year of sadness, it's been so easy to stop caring about me. It's easier to get lost in the pain and loneliness and eat, than it is to face the emptiness and go on. To get that " WHO CARES" attitude. Well, I have decided that its me, it's ME that has to care and make the best of this life that God has blessed me with.
I have taken up both my crocheting and my knitting again to keep myself from thinking about food while watching tv.
When looking back, I have traveled so very far from that girl who lost almost everything in the year of sadness. And with help from Nutrisystem, I am beginning to find myself again.

 And we are off!! Week 1 down 8 pounds!!!


I am very excited to have received my first box from Nutrisystem!, chuck full (2 layers) of shelf stable foods and then, a couple of days later, I received a huge cooler full of  the Chef Table Collection  and frozen treats. I am very excited about these meals!
I also received this bottle to help me with knowing just how much water to have each day. I love that idea, I just wish it had a built in straw, but, I devised one myself and it makes it easier for me to drink out of...the only warning I have to give you is that if you use cold water, the bottle will sweat. I tend to drink water at room temperature, so that isn't a big deal for me.  I also love lemon...really love lemon, so... I squeeze the juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon into the container and take it with me where ever I go.







I am loving the foods so far!!
 I love all of the breakfasts and lunches so far. The wedding soup and double chocolate muffin are among my favorites so far.  The only meal that I was slightly disappointed with was the staple ready meatloaf.  I am very picky about my meatloaf however, being raised on my mom's recipe, so, I just grilled up some onions and peppers and added them to my meal and was very pleased by the outcome. I will order it again since I am a meatloaf freak! I also love the protein drinks...I have even heated up my Almond milk (35 cals) and added it to the chocolate and have had a wonderfully warming and fulfilling couple of cups of hot chocolate. I have also added fresh strawberries to the sweet strawberry flavor for an incredible shake!







 I love the fact that Nutrisystem  is so supportive! I also visit the site to read all about the people who have succeeded already and to have any questions that I may have answered.
Oh yeah, I am really loving this and the best news so far, earlier this week, I was down 6.2 pounds!! How sweet is that AND...It hasn't been a week yet, so, I will update this week end to let you know just how much healthier I am!!!!
